To Crockhead: Yes, I&#39;ve seen Julie &amp; Julia and am ambivalent. I should do a blog entry about my response. To Lotta: Welcome. Hope all you new folks return!Lauren D.

I am so sad that the magazine will be no more. I have saved many of my issues, and I am delighted that I did. Now they will be treasured and cherished.lottahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04240907332519613605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9127653.post-3070718895703329792009-10-06T15:14:55.300-04:002009-10-06T15:14:55.300-04:00Every jackdaw at McKinsey should be required to re...Every jackdaw at McKinsey should be required to read this. And I hope you email it to Gourmet. I can&#39;t believe of the two, it wasn&#39;t Bon Appetit that got the axe. I like BA also, but Gourmet will always be the gold standard.MemeGRLhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15162162953846737959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9127653.post-1480881947155066422009-10-06T15:14:00.376-04:002009-10-06T15:14:00.376-04:00Great post.

I depend on Gourmet each month to inform me, take me to far away places to discover food and culture. Certainly not least provide me some great recipes.

I&#39;ve missed Laurie Colwin for quite awhile and now for the magazine itself to cease publication, it feels like the sad end of a long, wonderful era. <br /><br />I&#39;m enjoying yr blog and hope to find old Gourmet recipes heralded in future posts.Laurenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07661940008695501362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9127653.post-54949620548348871562009-10-06T13:08:20.766-04:002009-10-06T13:08:20.766-04:00Swansons!

I occasionally find old &quot;Gourmets&quot; around the house even now, usually buried in the depths of old dresser drawers. <br /><br />There were a few at the bottom of the old brass wood chest, along with other oddities, like David&#39;s birth notice from the hospital (strangely enough), and miscellaneous hardware like ancient picture hangers &amp; lamp cord holders. <br /><br />It&#39;s comforting to find these little bits hidden away - as the years pass, they&#39;ll get fewer and farther between until all the old detritus is gone.<br /><br />I&#39;m keeping one of Nana&#39;s dresser drawers untouched so I&#39;ll have at least that little reserve of old family junk to moon over! Sunglasses, spools of thread, old pictures and slides, pens, ticket stubs, bank statements, birthday cards. Historic trash, and a slowly fading very particular perfume of old lady &amp; old furniture that still triggers &quot;Nana&quot; in my mind.Dan McKinneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17894533692096816181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9127653.post-48336411615561305962009-10-06T12:13:20.408-04:002009-10-06T12:13:20.408-04:00When you said that you spent three hours writing t...When you said that you spent three hours writing this post, I almost didn&#39;t read it because I was afraid I&#39;d be sitting here for three hours reading! But, you are a true nostalgia writer and you make me want to somehow save Gourmet. Though neither of us can, you can and I hope you do continue your mother&#39;s search for that perfect cannelloni.Jillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14834508116846599389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9127653.post-25718503061397458422009-10-06T12:13:00.333-04:002009-10-06T12:13:00.333-04:00This brought tears to my eyes...what a lovely trib...This brought tears to my eyes...what a lovely tribute, to your mother and to Gourmet.julienjhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16835707714798213186noreply@blogger.com
